Ojai Art Center - Photography Branch
Our May Exhibit
Contrast: Beyond Black and White
A photography exhibit and juried contest at the Ojai Art Center
May 8 to June 4, 2020.
The theme of “contrast” goes far beyond black and white, to include a wide range of juxtaposed opposites. Contrast typically enhances differences that reflect into one another and create a new meaning. There are sensory contrasts such as color, tone, or texture; and conceptual contrasts, for example: new vs. old, rich vs. poor, raw vs. polished. The contrast may also be cultural, social, sexual or political.

The Ojai Art Center (also known as the Ojai Center for the Arts) is the longest continuously operating multi-disciplinary center serving the arts in the State of California. The concept which became the Art Center was first suggested in 1936 as a means of bringing together five independent and struggling arts organizations in Ojai under one umbrella and one roof.
